The X11 contrib directory should contain both xditview and xtroff.
They allow you to view troff documents in X windows. You will
also need some sort of troff. Type:
troff
If it responds with "Typesetter busy", you'll also need psroff from
alt.sources (you have CAT Troff). If it simply hangs until you
hit interrupt, you have ditroff and you don't need psroff.
